Is Catherine Zeta-Jones BU?

[MissionItsPossible]

She famously said a million pounds wasn’t a lot of money and boasted of collecting houses like other people collect art.

If you think that was big-headed, brace yourself – because Catherine Zeta-Jones says she’s had enough of being modest.

The Welsh star, who is married to Hollywood legend Michael Douglas, says it is high time she stops apologising for her £200million fortune, stunning looks and Oscar-winning talent.

Catherine, 48, says: “One thing I’m not is humble any more. I’m sick of being humble. I really am. ‘So sorry I’m rich, so sorry I’m married to a movie star, so sorry I’m not so bad looking.’

“No sorrys. Enough. All that is important to me now is my work.

On one hand I say good for her, on the other it comes across as twatty.

Oh gawd yes I have my millions but will dress like a hobo types get on my wick

Your life not as good as mine? Tough.

Suck it up buttercup - or do something to improve YOUR own life.

You sound charming. You do know that sometimes things are out of people's control don't you? Sometimes people get more than their fair share of good luck in life and vice versa.

I doubt many people would envy her her 'movie star husband' though

Yes, it's quite sweet that she thinks anyone would envy her for being married to Michael Douglas.

FTRT. You might find karma bites you hard on your arse for that. One thing karma hates is smugness and to wallow in the misery of others is beyond twisted.
Do you honestly think people choose to be in gutter..

What work?

Men are never expected to apologise for being rich, gorgeous, talented, intelligent etc. I can see why she's sick of the expectation that she will just because she's a woman.

The key ingredient that CZJ lacks in all of those remarks is grace. For that alone, she will always look a bit sad.

Thank you - I am very charming.

I don't believe in all that 'luck' malarkey.

I had a rather shitty life till I was 34. Then I forcibly turned it around. I MADE it happen.

Excuses excuses excuses...……

Stop making them and watch things improve.

I'd rather her be honest about the privileges her looks and wealth have brought her than her be someone like the Bono, Sting and Billy Bragg crowd who play the humble and in touch with my roots card from the hermetically sealed mansions and private jets they actually exist in.

I imagine she has to have sex with Michael Douglas though so swings and roundabouts

I’m now thinking of that scene in Sex And The City where Samantha sees the wrinkly bum of an old man she has been shagging. Rather off putting!

Good for her.

As an aside, that selfie of her and her husband in that article is awful. She looks great, he looks about 162 years old!

baby

Nope. Karma? Really?

I have my karma (if that is what YOU want to call it).

Good karma :)

I have worked VERY hard to turn my life around.

I am presuming that YOU know what my life was like before my 'karma'?

I like her attitude. Shes rich beautiful and talented. She's done well and is confident enough to say it as it is. I loved her in Chicago.
I remember the uproar of that £million comment.
I'd be happy with a million cash in the bank personally but for people like that it isn't much. Why should they have to pretend through fear of upsetting anyone.

Isn't she mostly successful because she's pretty though? If she hadn't married an extremely wealthy and influential man, or her looks had faded dramatically when she was, say twenty two, would there be any of this debate?

Show me someone exceptionally plain who's made it financially through hard work not through marrying some rich bloke, and she can boast all she wants, with my blessing.

Signed: plain as a board and not very successful, so only slightly jealous.

That's fantastic and im sorry heartily sorry for your past troubles. However I stand by what I said. Much more wallowing in the despair of others (who have their reasons not excuses) bad karma may well be on it's way to you. That's karma's rules, not mine.

I don't think she is necessarily being unreasonable but she's never actually come across as humble so this just appears as a gloating rant.

Good on her. I’m fed up with this culture of having to hide ones light under a bushel. Don’t dare sparkle because you’re going to make others feel bad. Don’t have money because others will hate you for it. In the end, all you’re doing is pandering to jealous and hateful people who don’t give a shit about you or your happiness. Why lessen yourself for that kind of person? And when you shine, you are teaching others that it is okay for them to shine as well.

I think what she has said is fine. No need to be apologetic for being rich, successful and beautiful. On the opposite side I can stand boastful people and CZD isn't that either.

She doesn’t need to be ashamed about her money and looks, but I’m surprised she thinks anyone envies her MD.

Oh and my mother worked damn hard from when she was 15. She was working 16 hours a day up until a few months before she passed away. She didn't have much.
She was not deservedly poor and I'll not have you try to tell me any different, before you try to.

Who cares?

Humble? That woman was born a braggart.

Love the picture of her standing next to her grandad (sorry, meant movie star husband).

I am definitely in the good for her camp.
I am sick to death of the faux modesty of some celebrities.

baby

Oh do behave!

I do more than my share of helping others, in my job and in RL.

I have earned my fabulous life.

I do not 'wallow' in people's despair at all.

I damn well help them to also turn their own life around - rather successfully, I may add.

Put a smile on that miserable face, get a spring in your step, and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Fair enough, why should she be sorry? She seems to have a great life, her kids look great, why should she be humble about anything?

You don't hear the Royal apologising for their position and privileges they receive doing absolutely nothing.
